PARTED, BUT LOVING STILL.

LIZ the crowd they have come together;
On her face the lamp light falls,
As in smiling he wonders whether
His parting words size recalls.
Ee should never marry, lie told her,
Since such was to be her viii:
And now he is thirty years older,
And they both are single still.
Ee spoke it il desperate fashion,
And in grief his voice grew wild;
1t touched her with dainty compassion
That he could cry Ike a child
This tale OF the past he remembers,
And laughs as he lifts his hat
The flame has died down into embers,
Gray, like his hair-'vSat Of that2
1t was cut of his youthful folly
The act that he most depiores;
His night shall be none the less jolly;
But she, at the play house doors,
For the word of her footman waiting,
Disputes with the lonely years.
And her eyes. in that duh debating,
Like q child's have filed with tears.

THE KNAcK OF LOOKING YOUNG.
What an EnslishwOIaan Has to Say ON
the 5ubject-Some Useful Hints.

What an EnglishwoIaan Has to Say on
the Suhject-Some Useful Hints.
The Princess of Wales, the mother Of
grown up sons and daughters. looks quite a
young woman, almost a girl still, and dresses
in the style that suits her and young women
best Women of middle age, or who have
passed their first youth, have acquired the
knack Of looking considerably younger than
those Of the last generation at the same period
Of life. Perhaps they take more pains with
their face and figure, and our fashions are
more youthful. Looking round at most
fashionable assemblies III the present day,
there is little marked distinction between the
nlatrons and the maids The former coca
sionally wear more costly fabrics en- granIo
toilet, but the hair is dressed much in the
same way, and no one wears a cap habitUally
unless compelled. 1t is a feature of our nation
that mothers and daughters often might be
mistaken for sisters.
The truth is no one can advise on these
personal matters. 4 wise woman watches
the lines grow in her face and studies not to
strengthen them by overjuvenility Of attire.
A wide brimmed hat, which throws a
shadow on the face, makes woman look
years older, but the high crowned, narrow
brinmed hats are far less trying. III requires
Judgment to know when to discard the wear
ing of hats at all. According to the present
fashions, it would be best TO wear high
straight collars OF velvet, and where lace is
admissible plenty about The throat. The hair
should only be turned up from the nape of
the neck when the throat has 10 sign of
scragginess and the style does not tend to
harden the side outline Of the check bones
which have lost their youthful round!eSs OF
ficshly covering.
The fashions Of the day favor slim women,
bat slinness too often toward middle life de
generate into undue thinness, which is by
20 means youthful. Therefore thin women
must conscientiously study their own indi-
yidualitv, and not take too great liberties on
the score of embonpoint, which keeps of
wrinkles, though it MAJ enlarge the waist
and make the study of drapery a serious one.
Stout women should avoid waist seams, and
carry the skirt and bodice in one, down the
sides as much as possible. Let them avoid fur
borderiDgs 10 basques just as short women
should Danish them from the edges of their
skirts. Tall women may indulge IS much as
they please in soft falling drapery indeScrib-
able in It's arrangement; but short ones would
thereby acquire tublike proportions. 1t is a
great mistake of English women that dark
and fair, short and tall, thin and stout, adopt
the same modes, whatever they may be- In
all these things the appearance is the point to
be considered, but remember, Il woman is Is
old as she really looks TO others, not as she
thinks she looks herself, if blinded by vanity

A Worm that Eats DID Steel Rnils.

The existence has Just been discov-
cred of q detestable micrObe which
feeds upon iron with as much gluttony
as the phylloXera upon the vine
Sometime ago the greatest cOnsterna-
ton existed among the engineers en-
plOyed on the railway at Hagen by the
accidents occurring always at the same
place, proving that some terrible defect
must exist either in.the material or the
construction of the rails. The German
Government directed an inquiry to be
made and a commission of surveillance
to be formed for the purpose Of main
tanning constant watch at the spot
where the accidents-one of them at
tended with loss of lfe-had occurred.
1t was not, however, until after six
months had elapsed that the surface of
the rails appeared to be cOrrOded, as if
by acid, to the extent of 100 yards.
The rail was taken up aud broken, and
it was perceived that il was literally
followed out by a thin gray worm, to
which the qualification of HrailOverOus"
was assigned, and by which name it is
to be classed in natural history. The
worm is said to be two centimeters in
length and of the size Of the prong Of
silver fork IN circumference. 1t is of
light gray color, and on the head car
ries two little glands filed with a
corrosive secretion, which Is elected
every ten minutes upon the iron. This
liquid renders the iron soft and spongy,
and of the color Of rust, and it is then
greedily devOured by the insect. "There
IS no exaggeratiOn, says the official
report of the commission, 'in the asssr-
ton that this creature, for its size is
one Of the most vOraciOus kind, for It
has devoured thirty-six kilogrammes of
rail in a fortnight. COLOQHe Gazette.

"Oh. git eout! I eat toast-never

The ladies clapped their hands; but
what was their surprise when the
stranger, rising, spoke calmly and
clearly in tones ornate and dignified as
follows:

AIost Remarkable Thing TransPiring In
Tnfs rnuntI.E.

During the last eighteen months there has
been a large excitement all over the country
over the MOxie Nerve Food Plant, discovered
in South America. Its intense power over
the liquor habit, drunkenness, and its being
made INTO a luscious beverage, frightened
the liquor dealers, but they soon found out
they could sell more of it, and make larg-
or profit on 1t, than on liquors, while it was
perfectly harmless and intensely popular.
In fact, its adaptation to stop nervousness
and recover the effects Of OverWOrk on wo-
men, while 1t m de no morbid appettes, nor
lost its effects from long use, more than
food, and its adaptation to all classes of the
people, and violating the caprices of no kind
of conscientious scruples- and the prObabll-
ity of it's superseding liquor drinking to so
large an extent, has won the support OF the
churches, temperance people, liquor dealers,
women and drunkaFds alike. he sale is
